tonight on "world news." anger in the streets. the largest anti-american protest yet. but are the demonstrations heading up, or cooling down? romney reboot. amid question tonight about a tape. what did he say? royal rumble as will and kate file criminal charges because of those photos. bob woodruff tells us about the royal couple today. and easood finally unplugged. eastwood goes from front of our camera about that convention speech, that chair and why he didn't want to use the teleprompter.

good evening, we begin with the big picture of the muslim protests around the world. today the biggest demonstration so far incited by a longtime american adversary, and seven other nations while sporadic demonstrations most of them denouncing that strange am tour anti-muslim film. tonight is the danger growing or cooling down? alex marquardt starts off off in beirut. alex. >> reporter: good evening, diane. the protests today were bigger than anything we've seen in the region or beyond. it was organized by the powerful group hezbollah, whose leader today had a very stark warning for america. a massive show of anger today. everyone from boy scouts to clerics poured into the streets. then a surprise, a rare public appearance by the leader of hezbollah, a militant group with the real power here.

he's called the film which ridicules the prophet mohammed, the worst insult to islam ever. and today warned that if the u.s. doesn't move to ban the film, there will be serious repercussions against the u.s. all around the world. inside the u.s. embassy here tonight, there are reports that they are shredding classified documents because of the protests. the anger in this rally goes well beyond the film. the chants of "death to america" evidence of the fury against an american government that allows these sorts of insults against islam. >> do you believe that people should have the free some of speech? freedom to do whatever they want? >> yeah, but not when it comes to religion. >> reporter: there were anti-film protests in at least seven other countries today, including indonesia, pakistan, afghanistan, yemen and the west bank. but elsewhere, the protests have eased. egypt, where it all began, has been quiet. in libya, nothing since the attack that killed four americans, including the ambassador. as for the ambassador, the u.s. government believes that he died of smoke inhalation from the

fires set on the compound. libyans say he was found alive. the u.s. is still investigating the attack, believing that extremists turned an anti-film protest into an assault. back here in hleb ton tonight, no sign the anger is going away. hezbollah issued a call for four more protests this week and four more elsewhere. thank you very much. as secretary clinton said, so many people are writing us, how can middle east mobs go on a rampage and claim they are do it because of a bizarre amateur film. we asked abc's lama hasan and asked what he's saying tonight. >> reporter: this was the moment on his program, days before the protests erupted here and on the

globe. when cleric khaled abdallah showed scenes from the anti muslim film. he then told viewers of his talk show it was very important to defend their faith. so we went in search of him today, finding him at the studio. today, he says he's shocked at the fury sparked by the movie. he said he was never inciting violence and deplores it. across the region today, there are differences in how the mainstream media and religious media are covering the story of the film and the protests. just a few days ago, news about the anti-islam movie made headlines, but today, if we take this liberal newspaper, al shourouk, it's replaced by a story. arabs regret the diplomacy of the marines. but another newspaper which is more religious has a slogan that says, "defend the prophet mohammed." but read a little closer, and both the religious newspapers and the mainstream media are now encouraging non violent

demonstrations, while demanding the u.s. government introduce a law to stop the defamation of islam. as for the broadcaster who was among the first to show scenes of the film, he says the rage aimed at the u.s. which has been simmering for years, when the people here saw the movie, that anger simply boiled over. he has no regrets he tells us, but hasn't shown the movie again. lama hasan, abc news, cairo. and now, we return here at home. we have more tonight on that bomb plot in chicago. an 18-year-old man accused of trying detonate his car bomb outside a bar, not knowing the fbi had given him a fake explosive. abc's alex perez has all of the new details. in court today, his attorney said he is no terrorist.

prosecutors said he was determined to kill americans. according to court documents investigators tracked daoud for months. in one internet forum he allegedly wrote "i live in the united states of america/hypocrisy. i hate the oppression of the usa and i would love to do something that would hurt it from the inside." his target, according to investigators, a packed downtown bar friday night. the co-owner of cal's bar and liquors told abc he believes his bar was the target. the location matches the description in the affidavit. authorities say daoud parked his jeep jerky with what he believed was a bar, walked away and then planned to detonate the device. that's when the fbi pounced. according to court papers he prepared a book report saying osama wasn't crazy for wanting to destroy america. this superpower killed millions of people.

the teenager grew up and still lived with his parents on this quiet block in illinois today. parents did not want to answer questions. >> you have no message to get across? >>. >> reporter: and his fear is on emotional wreck and describes him as confused -- thank you so much alex perez reporting from chicago tonight. and we move next to the presidential election, 50 days until "your voice your vote." last week the president was post convention, but this week the two are neck and neck. and tonight the romney camp is engineering a reboot as there's a developing story of a new tape of the governor at a private event. abc's david muir is here with all of the details from the

romney camp. david. >> more on that video in a moment. as you mentioned the campaign hoped to reintroduce him. promising to be specific. and now reports of tension within their own campaign. >> reporter: call it a romney reset. a new had, a new tone, and a direct appeal. >> you've got to cut the deficit, you've got to stop spending more money than we take in. >> reporter: and today as romney spoke to the u.s. hispanic his campaign promising more specifics. after withering criticism from within their own party, that the campaign has been too vague. one of romney's top strategists arguing this new promise is about timing, not tumult. >> the timing is right at this moment to reinforce the specifics. and highlight some of the specifics, reinforce -- >> reporter: but in a new interview that aired today, running mate paul ryan was asked for specifics on romney's tax plan, which of those tax loopholes they plan to close, to

pay for their tax plan. >> is there a reason you guys aren't naming specific tax loopholes? >> yes, because we want to get it done. and we have to be able to work with congress on those details, on how to fill it in. >> reporter: and in the middle of it all -- reports of finger pointing inside the campaign. abc newsonfirming the discord first reported by politico. >> i accept your nomination for president of the united states sclchl. >> reporter: but days before romney's biggest speech, that primetime moment, there were several drafts of the speech ordered. several different speechwriters, then, nearly all of it thrown out. romney and chief strategist stu stevens crafting what america heard at that convention and what voters didn't, leaving the troops in afghanistan out. that advisor telling me, "speeches go through a lot of editing." and when asked if he would put afghanistan back in if he could. "i just don't think that way. i don't think it would matter one vote." and david is here, because now there are a lot of questions about a new tape that surfaced. >> a videotape? >> today, as you know, mother
